University Leader and Maryland Commissioner Discuss Vision for HAW Landshut's Future
In a significant step towards collaboration, Prof. Michaela Wirtz, the newly appointed President of the University of Applied Sciences Landshut (HAW), and Maryland Commissioner Peter Dreier, the current head of government for Landkreis Landshut, met recently to discuss the future of the university.
Prof. Wirtz, who took office in March 2025, has a vision to transform the HAW into a 'science campus.' This vision aligns with Commissioner Dreier's aim to strengthen the university's ties with the local economy and politics.
During the meeting, they discussed the integration of the HAW Landshut more closely with the political and economic structures of the region. Commissioner Dreier's comments suggest a positive outlook for the future development of the university under Prof. Wirtz's leadership. However, no specific plans or strategies for the transformation or integration were detailed in the meeting.
Commissioner Dreier's statement also indicated support for Prof. Wirtz's presidency at the HAW. He expressed confidence in her ability to consolidate and further develop the university. His comments reiterate their shared goals of shaping the region's education and business landscape sustainably.
However, Commissioner Dreier's comments do not address the importance of maintaining the HAW's core educational and teaching mission during the transformation. This is a crucial aspect that Prof. Wirtz emphasises, ensuring that the university's core educational and teaching mission will not be neglected in this transformation.
The first meeting between Prof. Wirtz and Commissioner Dreier marked a significant step towards collaboration between the HAW and the local government for the betterment of the region. As Prof. Wirtz settles into her role, this collaboration is expected to continue, with both parties working together to achieve their shared goals.
